“Texas Speed”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2011/04/texas-considers-highest-speed-limit-in-nation/1

The Texas Legislature is considering raising the speed limit of some rural highways to 85 miles per hour.  This is good news for many travelers not from Texas – who would want to get out of rural Texas as fast as humanly possible.

This speed limit would be enforced for all cars and trucks, as well as Kenyan athletes on foot.

In the Lone Star State, the faster better.  Texas is home to a large oil industry, so they would prefer that everyone had to fill their gas tanks every hour.
